Global Navigation Satellite Systems, Inertial Navigation, and Integration

Global Navigation Satellite Systems, Inertial Navigation, and Integration, 3 edition English | 2013 | ISBN: 111844700X | ISBN-13: 9781118447000 | 608 pages | PDF | 20,3 MB An updated guide to GNSS, and INS, and solutions to real-world GNSS/INS problems with Kalman filtering Written by recognized authorities in the field, this third edition of a landmark work provides engineers, computer scientists, and others with a working familiarity of the theory and contemporary applications of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), Inertial Navigational Systems, and Kalman filters. This book is intended for people who need a working knowledge of global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs), inertial navigation systems (INSs), and the Kalman filtering models and methods used in their integration. The book is designed to provide a usable, working familiarity with both the theoretical and practical aspects of these subjects. For that purpose, we include “realworld”problems from practice as illustrative examples. We also cover the more practical aspects of implementation: how to represent problems in a mathematical model, analyze performance as a function of model parameters, implement the mechanization equations in numerically stable algorithms, assess the computational requirements, test the validity of results, and monitor performance in operation with sensor data from Global Positioning System (GPS) and INS. These important attributes, often overlooked in theoretical treatments, are essential for effective application of theory to real-world problems.
